Teddies symbolize love and friendship,
in many cultures. It doesn’t matter how old you are and it doesn’t make a difference
whether you’re a girl or a boy, a grown-up lady, or a man. Everybody loves
Teddies, because they’re just so cute and cuddly.

As we get older, life changes. Relationships end and family and friends go their separate ways. All we are left with are the lovely memories we cherish in our heart. But the love for our favouriteTeddy never changes. Teddies don’t leave us, like people do. They are loyal friends for life.

Who or what inspired me to write the, "Teddy & Lily" story?

If I had to answer this question with only two words: Two-faced people! I’m still working on the last part of my trilogy, “Definition of Love” and during the research and writing process, I looked back over the people who had came in and out of my life. I analyzed relationships with family members, friends, and working colleagues and came to one sad conclusion: Humans are regrettably the most unkind, ungrateful, dishonest, and disloyal of friends.

Just recently I was once again disappointed by a few humans, who only pretended to be nice until they got what they wanted. Lies and dishonesty are something that makes me sick to my stomach. What makes me more furious is when humans behave badly and disrespectfully but seriously think they got away with it, by fooling and pretending nothing ever happened.

That’s how I came up with the idea to write this book from Teddy’s point of view. The story is inspired by true events from my memoir “Destination: Freedom”.Teddy & Lily Official Book Trailer

Sounds like a great story and valuable message! I admit, I forgot about a lot of people who came and went in my life, but I still have my teddy bear, Button, who kept me company when I was a young child :)
